I'm looking at buying an S10 dirt cheap.
It has the tranny cooler built into the rad.
Tranny cooler bust in the rad...
Tranny fluid in the coolant...threw the motor. (no idea how long it was running like this)
I'm assuming coolant in the transmission too.
Truck has been parked like this for a year.
Think the trannys toast?
I was thinking of just flushing out all the coolant and tranny fluid.
Adding a seperate cheap tranny cooler and should be good to go.
Not sure it the coolant/tranny fluid has done damage to the motor, tranny.

I'd say flush both and see how it goes. You may have to replace the radiator as well unless you just plug the ports.
